Easiest, fastest finish?
#5
In case a finisher doesn’t venture downstairs….

Installed a pine T&G wall running horizontally in a public building.
Mrs G is going to finish it today after I tell her what to use.
No stain.
Only available source for finish is local HD.

The question is will a Water-based poly need a seal-coat?
I know pine can blotch, but if there’s no stain—only a clear WB Poly—is blotching a concern?

I put it in my shop. I just rolled it on and used a brush in the grooves. I found end grain areas around knots can soak up the finish, so several coats will be necessary.

Blotching wouldn't be an issue.

It worked fine w/o sealing. No blotches.
